With the general release of Southern Charm 3 – On the Green, I thought
a little change-up would help to give you insight into these characters. Please
allow me to introduce one of the heroes of On the Green, sous chef, Malcolm
Bissette.

Malcolm: *almost bounces on
his toes in excitement* Hello from the sunny Florida Panhandle. Thank you to
everyone for reading the story about this beautiful old building… okay.. okay.
You're here for hot guy sex. *he winks*

ND: Behave yourself.

Malcolm: Or what. You'll sick
Reece on me?

ND: You would like that
wouldn't you… *rolls eyes* Back to the interview, please?

Malcolm: But you know
everything about me.

ND: The readers don't. Let's
start there. How about we start with your basics to get you warmed up before
the nitty gritty, deep down questions?

Malcolm: Sure, I can do
those.

Full name: Malcolm
Bissette

Nickname: Mal or
Captain Mal

Age: 26

Height: 5’7”

Weight: Not telling.

Hair color: Started
out brunet, but depends on my whim. I prefer bright colored tips from blue,
green, purple, or pink.

Eye color: I think they're a boring deep brown.

ND: Do you have a job?

Mal: I do and I love my job.
I'm the sous chef at Southern Delights under Chef Dakota Mitchell. Delights is
the fabulous fresh food restaurant within the Southern Charm B&B.

ND: Tell us about your past
and how you came to the Charm?

Mal: Due to issues I don't
like to discuss, I was one of those many homeless GLBT teens on the streets. I
wandered around Orlando, trying to survive. Meeting up with Dakota saved my
life and he brought me to the Panhandle and the Charm. Thanks to him, I had a
home, finished education, and got my life back together.

ND: I hear you're a huge fan
of Firefly?

Mal: Captain Mal! Oh… The
man is gorgeous. I cos-play him whenever I can. I have mastered his look.
Whenever I'm down in the dumps, I pop in the series and veg on the couch.

ND: About Firefly, I have a question from a
reader, TN. What would you say to the Fox executives that cancelled Firefly?

Mal: *laughs and rubs his
hands together* How long do we have? Okay… *lifts an eyebrow* Really, what the
hell were you thinking? Oh yeah, you weren't. You had a huuuuuuge hit on your
hands, but you rather put on a show of people sitting in a house wired up the
kazu and yelling at one another. Big whooping deal. Firefly had a soul, a heart, a following, and best of all.. it had
a freaking story? Guys, come on. Time to get beyond the 'reality' crap and back
to real television. Bring Fireflyback! Bring Fireflyback! Bring Fireflyback!

ND: Okay. Okay. We get it.
Is there someone else you think is just as gorgeous as Captain Mal?

Mal: *blushes* There is a
certain landscaper, but he doesn't know I exist.

ND: Are you sure about that?

Mal: *tilts head*

ND: What's his name?

Mal: Reece Simpson. He's one
of Dakota's best friends and owns a local landscaping business. Tall, broad
shoulder, tanned golden from the sun, and loves to put his hands in the dirt.
So outta my league. *sighs*

ND: Perhaps things could
change. I have a question from a reader. May I?

Mal: Sure.

ND: This is from reader,
Cheryl. Is that special chocolate cake you created your favorite food?

Mal: *laughs* Chocolate. The
greatest stuff in the world. I'll take anything chocolate.

Flashy,
flamboyant Malcolm Bissette falls head-over-heels at sixteen when he sees the
landscaper, Reece Simpson, after returning with Dakota Mitchell from Orlando
and working at the Southern Delights. A decade passes while his crush grew, the
man haunts his wet dreams, but there is no acknowledgment. With changes
happening around the Charm, Reece is back, working to clear the overgrowth. Mal
vows to forget everything he felt until Reece changes all the rules.

Catching sight
of a certain sous chef, Reece stays away from the underage boy as he grows into
a slender, flamboyant man. Preferring plants to people, he is quick and easy
with relationships. Realizing he wastes five years thinking Mal is still a kid,
Reece learns everything he can about his young adoration. He changes tactics,
unwilling to let another man have him. Steadfast in work and life, he isn't
sure about the unpredictable attitude of a chef, who changes hair color on a
whim.

What will it be
like to have Mal in bed? Would it make the summer afternoons even
steamier?

A
wasting plague swept over the Four Quadrants, changing how folks view the
traveling guilds. Most travelers now make permanent contracts and settle in
villages instead of continuing on the road. Needing to alter his lifestyle,
Kerryll MacGhylle rides deep into the Northern Quadrant in search of a place to
belong.

The
Northern Duke, Cullan Gryffyn D'Antuono, accepts the contract of the frozen
minstrel arriving during a powerful ice blizzard. He nurses Kerryll through the
ravages of the sickness. Though they live at opposite ends of society, they
have more in common than they realize.
